Bill Forhan, publisher of the NCW Media group of community newspapers, loves to fly fish, and we had a great evening of fishing on the Icicle River.

Holly ''Rhodes'' shows off her first fish caught while fly fishing on the Icicle River. She really got the hang of it and had a blast catching and releasing small trout.

My daughter Whitney finally got to fish the Icicle after many years and she got right back into the swing of things. Here she works on releasing a small rainbow.

Zack Low (left) and Jake Cleveland of Selah were on hand to help put out an unattended campfire just below the White River Falls campground. The pair found the fire burning, garbage left behind and beer bottles broken. "Disgusting", said Jake, an Eagle Scout.

This is one of the most scenic views people can find here in Central Washington. This shot was taken from the trailhead bridge over the White River, above Lake Wenatchee. The river is also a great fly fishing stream.

The Start family, including Christopher (left) Dad Curtis and brother Josh, fished with me for the second time at the Cast for Kids event on Potholes Reservoir.

Here is a nice kokanee taken from Billy Clapp Lake. The lake holds kokanee, walleye and smallmouth bass. Large perch are taken here in the winter, too.
